Statement:
Mia Sabel has already had a successful 25-year career in brand, design and theatre. This culminated in Mia becoming Creative Director for a 20 strong, award-winning design team she developed at the leading online financial services company Egg in Canary Wharf, London.
Inspired by hands-on, product- and user-led design, Mia decided to equip herself with authentic leathercraft skills within the tradition of English saddlery. Mia is now applying these respected skills in creating equine products and luxury leather goods, enhanced by her brand, design and marketing experience.

Latest news:
Having just completed a 2-year saddlery course at the only full-time UK course in the UK (Capel Manor College in Enfield), Mia has recently been awarded a QEST (Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust) award to fund further studies. Out of 159 people, Mia was one of 8 chosen - awarded £6,200 to fund her last 3 saddlery exams to make her fully qualified, plus an upholstery course which she has just completed, a leather restoration course, leather sewing machine skills and framed bag making course. These will all help increase her range of products, as well as becoming a Qualified Saddler and Harness Maker. Press releases from QEST will be coming out shortly, so you may see her in the national press and will shortly be appearing on their website - www.qest.org.uk
A temporary facebook Page is available now which is updated with latest products (please join), and her own website should be ready for the middle of September.
